Real World CPU Tests
Our encoding test is run using ImTOO DVD Ripper ( http://www.imtoo.com/ ) and involves taking a 225mb vob file and encoding to DivX (31mb). The time taken was recorded with ImTOO. The extra 200mhz that the FX-55 has really shows its advantages when encoding video. Over the course of a full film you’d save a considerable amount of time.
Adobe Photoshop is the premier standard image editing software. Used by professionals and novices world around it is the most powerful Image software available. Thanks to Allan "Zardon" Campbell we now have a standard Adobe Photoshop benchmarking script for use here at Driverheaven. The scripts main purpose is to isolate and stress a CPU alone and give us the results. The action script is setup to apply certain filters and includes some professional editing commands. It is set not to go into layers. If you apply several layers to a large file then paging will occur and then the hard drive comes into play. Which means the CPU itself is not stressed. The basis for this bench is to stress only the CPU as much as possible. The bench is run with a 40 MB file. The DH action script is already loaded in the actions pane. The image is loaded and then timed with the built in timer in Adobe.
Yet another good showing from the FX-55 in this test, nothing more than expected though.
